If brunch food isn't your favorite type of food, you're wrong.

From savory dishes like omelets, quiches, and hash brown casseroles; to sweet treats like french toast, cinnamon rolls, and Belgian waffles, the limit does not exist when it comes to the brunch menu.

Who doesn't love a good brunch? The answer is no one. We all love brunch and should practice enjoying it more often! However, brunch can be a hassle to set up especially if you're hosting a ton of people. Not to mention the slumped feeling you can have after indulging in a ton of greasy, fatty foods.

With these quick, healthy recipes you'll be turning brunch into a new tradition with your friends. And there's even a mimosa bar to indulge in!

So grab your aprons and let's get cooking!

1. Healthy Egg Muffin Cups

First on the agenda are the healthy egg muffins that make for a perfect brunch staple.

I've made these for tailgate brunches and they have always been a crowd favorite! You can accommodate for everyone by mixing it up with different flavors in the individual cups. Bacon and cheese, ham and cheese, all veggie, the possibilities are endless!

Next, you'll want to get started on the muffin tin pancakes!

2. Muffin Tin Pancakes

One of my personal favorites because this recipe gives you tons of freedom to add specialty ingredients to mix it up! Not to mention it is one of the easiest, quickest recipes for pancakes out there. No huge mess and no anxiously watching the pan for bubbles to indicate when to flip that flapjack!

3. Perfect Bacon

Brunch isn't complete without the bacon, of course!


If you love bacon, here's one of the tastiest (and simplest) recipes out there. It just goes the extra mile. There's nothing better than a sweet and savory combo, complete with the satisfying crunch of fresh bacon.

4. Nutritious Pancakes

Love pancakes but not the guilt? This protein-filled alternative recipe will be sure to fulfill all the pancake cravings!

Using the bananas and oats as a substitution for pancake mix eliminates a ton of unnecessary calories while adding a ton of flavor! Try adding mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or walnuts in them for even more flavor!


Finally, set up the ultimate crowd-pleaser!

5. The DIY Mimosa Bar

This DIY bar will let your guests mix-and-match their preferred juice and fresh fruit with bubbly champagne! A wonderful addition to a flawless brunch, this bar is packed with options. Even if you're hosting to those who don't drink, simply leave the champagne out! Not only is this recipe available to personalize, but it's also a definite hot incorporation!

Feel free to add in your favorites when cooking up a fun brunch for friends and family! Hopefully, this will give you the inspiration to get the ball rolling and help inspire you to host your own unforgettable brunch! After all, we could all use a break from reality to clink glasses with our best mates! Enjoy your unique, healthy brunch this summer!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
